Vigilantism and security-making ask that we both acknowledge the importance of legal pluralism (and its lived, and often contradictory, experiences), and that we recognize its limits. They insist that we acknowledge statecraft as a process engaged in by state and non-state actors, and that we rethink the contours of the contemporary state and the role of law within it. In imagining how anthropologists, lawyers, and legal scholars might think through these issues collaboratively and productively, this chapter suggests that legal pluralism can only take us so far. Ethnography is crucial to understanding how people engage, often simultaneously, various domains of law and how those domains themselves are also objects for scrutiny and investigation. Bringing these insights to policymaking and legal reform across various emerging fields, I suggest that vigilantism asks us to think about violence and to examine the roles and receptions of security-making and their integration into legal domains. |
